here's to hoping Flash Gordon is OAR. I recorded it from HDNM a month ago or so, but I would love to have it in MPEG-4 instead. I never bought the recent anamoprhic DVD, so I only have the old letterboxed one. Figured that was ok as long as I saved it on the HR20.

This is the one channel that I was hoping for since there is a lot of older flicks I'd love to see in HD. This morning's showing was very kewl! Too bad that I couldn't stay home today to watch it all day. I thought the PQ was pretty good, not Discovery HD Theater/Smithsonian Channel HD good, but close. Perhaps it'll be better with newer content. I think this will be one of my favorite channels to be glued to.

Yeah, it is tough to judge PQ on a movie channel in a few minutes. Older movies could need restoration, and newer ones could intentionally have been shot on grainy or inferior film stock. It'll take a period of time to really judge it.

Actually, PQ of any channel should be judged on the best source material it ever shows, because otherwise, one is judging the source material, not the channel.
